The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the Duluth International Airport a grant of more than $8.6 million for infrastructure improvements.

The funds will be used for the third and final phase of runway reconstruction at the airport slated for next summer. Once the work on the main runway and several sections of adjacent taxiway is complete in fall 2019, it will mark the end of a years-long effort to reconstruct the 60-year-old, 10,200-foot runway.
